A dogs keen set of senses and perception are amazing, whether you believe in it or not, the old story; “Everything I Ever Needed to Know About Kindergarten, I Learned From My Dog“  applies to much more than just kindergarten. A dogs unique set of senses are an extraordinary example of the statement wealth and wisdom go hand in hand, you can’t have one without the other. In fact you probably haven’t taken into account all of the variables that come into play. Inevitably you make choices based on intuition, no matter how much you ignore or dismiss that very fact. Intuition alone is a good indicator of your wisdom when it comes to making critical decisions everyday. For instance that decision to or not to make a hasty purchase, reaction to someone, take a turn down a different street and so on.

Even if they aren’t related to financial decisions directly they improve upon your ability to make actions based on fact mixed with logic. Here’s an brilliant example of just this very scenario. I decided to undergo some very critical thinking decisions about certain areas of my life and my business as well as the outcomes I want to see for my family, my colleagues and my most authentic friends.

I had had some serious changes take place in my life, with turbulent activity taking place I had to take cover in new and uncharted territories. It was like paradise island in one aspect and total nightmare on the other. Nothing murderous just privacy, new rules, new ideas for creativity and the most enthusiastic attitude I could muster up and hold onto.

The first couple of weeks were difficult to transition in to, moving a 3^rd person into a one man office was a task that took so much choreography, artistic talent and a strong virtue of trust, patience and understanding. I’ll go into that story another time what I really want to cover here is the topic of wealth and wisdom. I chose a different path to pursue looking for new ideas I could adapt to my own business, what started to happen was and still is purely amazing.

I managed to partner up with a 20 year veteran San Francisco Radio DJ, who is coming out of a retirement for a second round with a whole new eco-centered format with one of the top agencies in the world. They’re begging him to come back and offering him everything he wants on a gold platter. In the mean time I have managed to align myself with him on multiple ventures including advertising on his media platforms.

That doesn’t excite me, what gets my heart racing and revving to go is a project that will help thousands even millions of dogs and help their owners too. I have a very large role in this project as I am the acting CFO and affiliate manager. We are commencing forward with a proposed launch date of October 1^st 2009. This isn’t a business this is a purpose that makes sense, imagine viewing hundreds of written and soon to be converted to video passionate testimonials from dog lovers who have witnessed holistic miracles with their own eyes.

My dog bear was laid to rest at the beginning of this month. I has saddened me deeply, I really miss him. I also miss my own space and domain. Sorry to hit the emotional nerve there I really do miss him. Here’s really what I want you to take away from all of this. The wisdom behind this profound new discovery is simple.

You take something that is already working, for example, the dog products have been around since 1992 that’s 15 years. The product manufacturer Sam is a dynamic, charismatic gentleman; he’s so pleasant to work with and just as excited as all us partners included. This is the first step of wisdom I mentioned intuition, now the second is in motion that’s planning, implement changes, set up testing and create massive action in an organized idealized fashion.

Here’s that formula in action…

We identified a viable way to engage someone whom needed some improvement.

Do you own a dog or a cat, maybe more than one? Are you interested in learning about ways to naturally improve your dogs health, degenerative diseases such as dysplasia, Arthritis, OCD and other conditions that cause them suffering with joints, elbows and hocks? Would you be interested in providing your dog(s) or cat(s) the experience of immediate and long-term relief without drugs or surgery?

Here are some quick check symptoms that can occur with the above conditions. Check and see if your precious companion is experiencing any of these symptoms listed below

Change in appetite
Change in behavior
Muscle atrophy
Lagging behind
Yelping when touched
Limping

We use a combination of three natural formulas developed by a Naturopathic Doctor for his own dog. No side effects, because it’s all just good whole food. No dosage problems because the body uses only what it needs. And now, with the latest product release, the formula is showing results that are even more successful.

Our team made an offer

“We would like to market your products, we are a group of eco-friendly entrepreneurs, we have a community of loyal followers who many of them happen to own dogs. Some of us are using your product and we have been for several years.”

I made an offer to the team

I will handle the roles of Affiliate Manager and CFO since my background is finance. Affiliate management takes quite a bit of talent to manage and run all of the areas required to start and design a program from the ground up.

My offer was accepted

Now I am involved heavily with time dedicated to this project

I am molding and setting up someone else’s business, with a clear thought out plan of action combined with grass roots activity connecting with something we all enjoy out pet’s. It brings me back to the days when I was a child everything was very different then. Life was simple and fun. That’s exactly where I want you to be when you read this today.

I’ve made myself very happy with some of the decisions I have decided to do. I will still keep you updated while http://RyanWegman.Com and the blog both go under the knife in the near future. I’m having evasive procedures done with HTML PHP and CSS soon after the new year. One project at a time. Always remember wealth is a concept that makes the mind choose from the heart

As I mentioned we are at the pre launch phase and seeking affiliates aggressively, if you or anyone you know owns a dog or a cat please let them know we want to get to meet them. Have them email me at basecampjv@gmail.com or call me at 925.246.2121 I’d be glad to speak with you or them.

It wasn’t too long ago when I started writing about social media and creating a movement, a paradigm shift in thought and actions of others. It hadn’t dawned how predominate of a social movement is already underway. We see charities, acts for legislation and reform, green communities, niched social platforms.

However the one social movement that I see really taking shape is the act of social lending. What exactly is social lending? It’s simply a group of like minded investors making a positive shift to correct the missing gap in our current financial markets.

Using the power of peer to peer networks and spreading the diversity of risk across small micro loans the investor once again takes the position of the bank. At the very same time the exposure to defaults are reduced since investors pool monies together and diversify across many transactions versus being the entire lender on one transaction.

Most of these networks use unsecured lending as their revenue platform. Short 1 to 3 year terms with interest rates just over 7% and up to 23% being the average. Sure the same restrictions apply, deal structure, credit rating, lender approval, the biggest differences are speed of execution, personalized deal structuring and minimized lending amounts to keep the system stable.

I found a couple of articles on these subjects and I thought that these would appropriately discuss both the positives and negatives of this emerging social culture of investors. The impact on the lending industry as well as the long term evolution of this new and exciting marketplace.

The first article I found is titled “Social Lending Networks, New Alternative to Banks” written by LAURA MARQUEZ

Next we head on over to “Guide to Social Lending Networks” written on the bargain engineering blog.

Lastly we take a look at the impact of social networking to see the disruption of our current lending system.  “Social Networks Disrupting Money Lending”"

After you spend a few minutes learning and understanding all about the topic at hand take a look and see how these social networks diversify their lending courtesy of http://www.sociallending.net/

I haven’t been posting regularly for the past week and a half, in fact the last article I wrote was posted about using social media to enhance your real estate business. Since that writing I did after attending that seminar I have had rapid changes come to me in the way of inspiration and action.

Here is the last article I wrote on using social media. All I know is between that day and the day I was asked a simple question of “Why”, I have been on a mission.

A mission that will take more than just myself to get it going. I decided that social media is more than just a tool that can be leveraged for gains in viewership as well as a quick way to start gaining momentum in presence of yourself and or your business.

I knew if done properly the concept of social media could be displayed by using it’s sheer power and ease of simplicity. I knew I could use it to make a massive shift in the direction and choices people make daily.

This shift would create enough of an interest and reason to give people the power to take control of a trend to leverage it and make huge positive impacts. This is why I am writing you today, I need you to help spread the word.

Over the next 72 hours I will be reshaping my blog then my website RyanWegman.com I will be releasing my message to the world and starting to spread it quickly.

Soon after I ensure everything functions I am opening up the door to a select few. Only those who are serious to make change as well as impact lives will qualify for a rare chance to have personal 1 on 1 coaching with myself and a guest panel of professionals who will take on the task of reshaping your financial future.

After my original goal is reached of my undisclosed number of initial participants I will be opening the door to affiliate and joint venture partners to accelerate the process of change and influence.

These affiliates are my secret weapon to gaining momentum. But I didn’t want to stop there, I have been able to gather some valuable training on the proper usage of social from a close friend of mine.

In essence we are going to launch two separate products, to two very different markets and then the twist which I have not dropped on him yet is we are going to share his principles of social media to leverage your experience and efforts and at he same time spread my message to his huge audience of listeners.

Did I mention he has a prior 20 years in Radio as a professional DJ? This guy really knows his stuff when it comes to media and the social effect it can have on the ears who fall up it to listen.

Remember the original story of the War of THE World by Orson Wells? The panic, chaos and fear it produced simply because many viewers missed the opening statement “This is only a story none of this is real; well that’s the gist of it any way.

Get ready to take life by the horns and start making the choices that are essential and necessary to change the direction you are going in life. Be on the watch for my new site design, check today then check tomorrow I know you are going to be pleasantly inspired. Go ahead and take the challenge today.

As way to distribute......

If you’ve been on the Internet for more than 15 minutes it’s not doubt that you have been exposed to numerous websites that use and leverage the social media such as myspace. Facebook, twitter, youtube and countless others of websites using the “web 2.0” technology.

It’s one of the hottest trends on the web, twitter has had news coverage from surgeons teaching medical students about a surgery procedure to Farah’s & Michael Jackson’s deaths and many other worthy events. Today I am at the lovely Hilton Hotel in beautiful Concord, CA listening to Tom Ferry.

Guess what the topic is? Social mediaq and real estate. Even if you have been online and using social media, for any amount of time you are probably using it wrong. If you aren’t using these powerful tools to position yourself as the expert, attract your new prospects, engage them in conversation, and convert them into raving fans you’re missing the boat.

Let me give you a perfect example, if you have clients who are seeking to purchase real estate, you need to be ready to receive an on set of communication via email, text messages and phone communication.

In fact if you aren’t online using these powerful tools you have already missed the boat. Not to worry you can still make your mark with a few selective strategies and free tools to get started. I have investor friends who rely on cell phones as the primary business tools to quicky evaluate real estate deals, by sending out a team of individuals who are armed with camera phones and ready to inspect properties.

How can you compete with technology if you aren’t armed with it.? Answer you can’t! Think about it for a minute what if you can get to the listing to inspect before the court sale or a new property hits the MLS and you have your team there within15 minutes to 1 hour. Visuals are done, comps are being pulled by your office manager or team member.

Using cameras for visuals can quickly help a seasoned investor to make these decisions while on the fly or in the office makes real time data access quick and efficient. Valuations are performed and the offer(s) is/are written all withing nanoseconds compared to the old way of performing the same old real estate procedures of calling an agent, driving to the property, pulling comps and performing neighborhood research aka data mining.

Your in the forefront, on the leading cusp of the industry when it comes to both running your business and as well in the entire real estate investment or agency game. You have been given a chance to become the top of your game simply by using these tools to gain an advantage in your personal business growth and as a way to market properties to flip or wholesale.

Now on the other hand as an agency who brokers real estate imagine having the advantage of being number one online for real estate searches in your local market. This was the premise for the seminar I attended recently and what an eye opener.

The strategies taught were very powerful and shed some real light on how technology and the “power to be found” online sets those who are in the know will exceed all of those who aren’t. The doers from the ones who sit on the sidelines. You can literally take advantage of the search engines with a little strategy, take a listing promote it via online channels as well as promote your self and your brokerage all at the click of a button.
