Whether you are a career professional, business owner or retired, diversifying income provides more freedom of choice in life style. Opportunities for creating profit centers surround us everyday.

| Jump Start Your Day with New Contacts
 Imagine being able to make new business contacts over breakfast. Now your day is supercharged as you hit the ground running with same day follow up calls to people you met earlier. Simultaneously, you have associates providing referrals for your business. Based in England, "member driven" Business over Breakfast Clubs has a proven formula for networking success in Europe. "BoB Clubs are all about helping members not only to get more quality business but also helping them improve their presentation skills and being able to meet with and develop mutually beneficial relationships with other business people on a regular basis. The success of Business over Breakfast clubs is due to the success it brings to its members", states Geoff Cox, Founder and Managing Director of BoB Clubs. Through an exclusive association, Savvy Intrapreneur and Business over Breakfast Clubs have teamed up to bring BoB Clubs to the United States. The 1st Business over Breakfast Club in the United States is opening in New York.See details below in our Calendar of Events.

| Complacency Soufflé |
|  Even those of us that don't cook understand the delicate balance required between mixing the ingredients and environment to prevent a soufflé from caving in. The same balance is required in managing our careers. There is a big difference between walking a tight rope and walking on a 4" balance beam. Which one we walk on, is totally in our power to control. |
| SMART TECHNOLOGY: Your Phone is a Cash Register |
|  Time and specialized knowledge are our most valuable commodities. If we don't place a value on our time, then people won't value it either. Over time we each gain a certain amount of expertise, which we usually give away for free. Then there are clients or customers who call on a whim for information, which benefits them or the profits of their company. After the call, we scratch our heads trying to figure out how we can recoup the time we lost by not charging for telephone time. Now there is a way to place a monetary value on the information you provide to people, over the phone or through email. |
| Niche and Specialist Rhyme |
| | In any industry, higher incomes are granted to people who specialize in their field. Specialists usually create their own niche market. |
| Show Me the Money For Your Project |
| by Phyllis Shelton
 Do you know that "Grant Money" is available just for the asking? Companies such as Verizon, Con Edison, JP Morgan Chase, Prudential, Tommy Hilfiger, private foundations, state and federal programs have Grant Money available for your business or project. |
| Blog for Profit |
| Powerful Marketing Tool and Profit Center
 With anyone being able to create a Blog, the Internet is changing the way people interact. A blog can be used as a "no cost" marketing tool to attract buisness or blogging can be a profitable business endeavor. Providing people with valuable information, keeps them coming back for more. A blog also establishes the author as an expert in their field. Every article published gets syndicated around the world faster than a web site posting. The "Blogs to Riches" article in the February 20, 2006 issue of New York Magazine mentioned AOL purchasing Peter Rojas' blog Engadget for $25million - Not everyone will become a millionaire blogging. There is a potential for people to make 6-figure incomes blogging. How about making just $200 - $500 extra per month just for sharing some tid bits of information. The writing is on the wall. There was a practical application news item about Walmart getting cozy with bloggers in "Wal-Mart Enlists Bloggers in P.R. Campaign" By Michael Barbaro. Steve Rubel presents ongoing stories of blogging as a "prime time" public relations and marketing tool, which compliments a web site. By blogging, Steve brought in $10million worth of business to his company. |
| Stop Networking |
| Start Living
 Why does networking become a chore or doesn't seem as rewarding as we expect? Maybe it's because we're putting too much emphasis on networking. We're looking for a pay back result at that pre-appointed 6:00PM event. We absolutely, positively have to make a contact at that 6:00PM to 8:30PM social mixer or that professional widget lover's association meeting. |
