Bronco Sports a Fast Car

It's very refreshing for my son to like to go outside and spend time out there. There are many kids his age that likely prefer to stay inside and play video games or watch TV. He is 2 years old, but his birthday is coming up in January. He literally loves it so much outside that he will spend hours out there. Lol there are times when we have to bring him in kicking and screaming.

He remembers nearly every thing we do, like a photographic memory. I mowed the lawn today and when I had finished mowing the lawn, I used the weed control hand sprayer and spot sprayed the weeds in the grass. Well, he'd previously watched me push the fertilizer spreader around the grass. Next thing I know, he had ventured into the garage. When he came out, he was pushing the Scott's spreader on the back lawn. Ha ha he endearingly mimics me or what I do. He jumped on the John Deere riding lawn mower, but luckily couldn't figure out how to turn it on.

It made me reflect on how much of a role model I am to him. It's a pretty awesome responsibility. It does make me think about what I do or say when he's around.

The clothes I wear. He watches my hats, shirts, and shoes. There was one time when we told him he couldn't go outside unless he put some shoes on. 5 minutes later, we spotted him walking outside with his Dad's Denver Broncos shoes.  Another example is when I have come home from work, he tugs and grabs my Bronco's lanyard and Bronco's hat. He, with a big smile, throws them both on.

Besides clothes, he watches what I do too. He likes to turn on my PS3 and then he tries to play either the DC Universe online or NCAA Football. Lol he hasn't grasped yet how to play the games really, but he has so much enthusiasm. He also loves sports with the same enthusiasm. He thoroughly enjoys watching football, basketball, baseball, and even golf.

I'm, in some way, an influence on him. I can have a great influence on him for good or, if I'm not careful, an influence for not so good things. I'm a father, a role model, and someone he admires. He drives me to be a better man.

LeBron James

Are we seeing the best of LeBron James? This debate will come up every year until LBJ has either retired or he has won 6 Championships. Is LeBron James better than Kobe Bryant? Is LeBron James better than Michael Jordan?
The thing is, we really haven’t seen the best of LeBron James yet. That is the most exciting part of watching his career unfold. For real, that’s where all the intrigue lies. He can only get better. There is so much potential. He has the grasped the concept of winning as a team much earlier than Kobe. His body is bigger than Michael’s. He is one of best players to run down the court, when an offensive or opposing player is running down the court for an uncontested lay up, then he swats the ball from the opposing player before the ball has gone through the hoop.
At the beginning of his career he was criticized for apparently not having a killer mentality. It seemed as though he passed the ball instead of taking the last clutch shot. To be top banana, he had to mature.
Okay, then we witnessed how he had done as much as could in Cleveland and he felt as if he had to take his talents to South Beach. We saw his less than leadership decision to go to Miami on national TV. He became a member of the Miami Heat. He merged his potential with Dwayne Wade & Chris Bosh. In the first season with the 3 super stars together, the Heat went to the NBA Finals and lost to the Mavericks. More questions ensued. In the 2nd season with the Heat, he showed more determination and nearly put the team on his back to ensure the Heat won a NBA championship. He finally hushed some of his naysayers.
I’m going to enjoy watching his career continue. He has made some mistakes. He has repeated some of his mistakes. On the flip side, he has also matured. He has become more of a leader. He has given us a glimpse of what he may become.
It’s very much like that in our own lives. We all have a superstar inside us. We have that super potential just waiting to be harnessed. We will make mistakes. We will repeat some of those mistakes. But the upside is so much sweeter. Dig deep and tap into that reservoir of beauty that that we all deserve. Be a Superstar!

Why are People Quick to Call it a Ponzi?

It's valid question I've had for quite some time. Why is it that outside of MLM, Network Marketing, Affiliate Marketing, Home Businesses... Etc.. People are too swift to call the businesses we all strenuously build, a Ponzi scheme? Let's start to understand what the term means. Here's a link from
Wikipedia on the definition.

http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ponzi_scheme

This is the definition from that link:

"Operation that pays returns to its investors from their own money or the money paid by subsequent investorsGg, rather than from profit earned by the individual or organization running the operation. The Ponzi scheme usually entices new investors by offering higher returns than other investments, in the form of short-term returns that are either abnormally high or unusually consistent. Perpetuation of the high returns requires an ever-increasing flow of money from new investors to keep the scheme going."

Here's another definition of a pyramid scheme, which is really the same thing. This definition comes from my home business Prosper With Integrity.

" Is This A Pyramid?
Not at all. A pyramid is associated with an
investment scheme, a company or a business.
We are a Products Company and our main
priority is the sale and use of these products.
We make sales, we sell products and product
packages and we do not have an ever-widening
base to the structure, which just keeps going and
going. A pyramid never allows anyone coming
in on the bottom to ever reach the top.
Everyone has the right to buy a product package
and their value is in the products themselves,
on the Compensation Plan that we have,
EVERYONE on the product sales team that
people put into place works together in a team
and receives the same product packages and
benefits. In a pyramid, only those at the top
profit while those at the bottom never reach the
top. In a pyramid, people can and have lost
their money."

So, if there are solid home businesses that have compensation plans that reward their members or affiliates very well, then why do people get the wrong ideas? There are solid businesses that have products and certainly give people reward, bonuses, and money equally. The new recruits have plenty of chances to advance or move up.

Is it ignorance or is it the bad impressions from bad companies that folded due to unethical business practices? Whatever the real reason may be, it's a genuine shame. If we use the two definitions I've already given, we can virtually call out a lot of corporate businesses a Ponzi scheme. In many corporate offices you'll find that the top people make a great deal more money than the people doing the medial work. In a lot of cases the employees are slighted due to politics or nepotism.

I'm also of the humble opinion that people will be quick to verbally target MLM type business a Ponzi scheme because they have been taught since childhood they must get an education, get a job, then work hard, long hours to move up. So, when a real home business is presented to them, they react in a skeptical behavior. It should not be forced for these skeptics. That will only reaffirm the ridiculous notion. Slowly, with patience, these close-minded people will see the ethics, and genuine care we have others.

My plan of action for us all, is to act with integrity, honesty or truthfulness. Be the best you, you can be. Even when others aren't watching. Be a person of character, a person of value. Be an example, so that we may gain more respect from the skeptics and doubters.
