Half Way There!

Today I returned 37 bottles and cans and found a penny in the parking lot on the way in to the store. So with that I have completed Step 14 and I am half way in completing my doubling project.

Yes, I know that I am still along way from completing my project, but it is nice to hear the words "half done"!

I know the work is just starting, but will also be getting more interesting! Can't wait!


Balance - $80.13 + $3.71 = $83.84 Step 14 is Complete! $80.00 from Completing Step 15!

Till next time.....

Treasure Trooper!

I have been a member of Treasure Trooper for a few months now and have decided that I will add any money I make from Treasure Trooper to my stake. I have made $68.62 so far in the few months that I have been a member there. That money has not been added to my stake.

If you are not familiar with Treasure Trooper, it is a site that provides links to you. These links go to surveys, cash offers and the like. When you satisfactorily complete a survey or cash offer then you are rewarded with money.

I will not do the offers where you have to buy anything to get a refund, all of my proceeds will most likely come from doing daily surveys. These surveys pay .$75 each and are available daily. That could add $20 or so to your stake each month. Which will help a lot for those just starting out. So give it a try and add a little to your stake. If you have any questions about it, please feel free to ask.

Well, Wal-Mart was good to me last night. I found a two pennies, in different spots, in the parking lot and a dime near the crane machine. A nice little $.12 to add to my stake. I have enough bottles to finish Step 14, just have to remember to take them back!

Balance - $80.01 + $.12 = $80.13

$1.79 from Completing Step 14!

MapStats!

Just a quick note about the MapStats button in the sidebar. It is a cool counter that actually shows where the readers are coming from. It also shows actual visitor totals for the day. Go to BlogFlux.com and check it out. It is free to use, but they do have a pay plan that gives you more info.

Black Friday - A Great Opportunity To Double!

Just a thought for all of the doublers and moneymakers out there. This Friday, otherwise known as Black Friday, is a fantastic opportunity to grab a great deal somewhere, resell it and double your investment or more!

Most ads for the after Thanksgiving sales are available at a website called bfads.net. For example, Circuit City has a Sandisk 1GB Secure Digital Memory Card for $2.99! The regular price is $59.99. A whopping $57 savings!

Now keep in mind that most of these deals involve rebates, early bird specials and quantity limits, but they are quite worth it.

For instance, I have $80 in stake that I could invest. Each memory card has a instant $30 rebate, so the starting price is $29.99. So I can buy two with the stake that I have. Now that is $59.98 out of my stake, leaving $20.02.

Send for the two $27 dollar rebates and my stake is now at $74.02. Sell the two memory cards, probably by just word of mouth, for a savings of $20 to your customers and now you have $79.98 to add to your stake, bringing the grand total to $174.02! Now since I've more than doubled my stake I get to put $14.02 into my pocket!

What a deal!!! Too bad I have to work that morning!

But, something has come out of this even though I can't participate. I have started a service that may help out people like me,who can't make it to these kind of sales, or auctions and the like. Please visit FindIt4U and see what my new service is all about. I would appreciate any comments you may have as far as improving the service or maybe a different approach.

Well enough for now.

Right in front of You!

Sometimes what you seek isn't far away, but right in front of you! As it happened today, I found $.15 (a dime and five pennies) on the sidewalk in front of my house. Some poor kid probably dropped it on his way to school.




Balance - $79.86 + $.15 = $80.01

$1.91 from Completing Step 14!

Almost Half Way!

Took back 97 bottles and cans today. This brings me real close to completing Step 14 which is half of the steps in the doubling plan! $80 is far from half of a million though, but being half done sounds real good.

For those who are catching the Christmas spirit and love to decorate your place with lights, then I encourage you to visit PlanetChristmas.com and see the latest in home decorating ideas.


Balance - $70.16 + $9.70 = $79.86

$2.06 from Completing Step 14!

A Little More!

Well, I found $.08 at work today that I can add to my stake.

I have always wanted to have a blog to just spew about something or comment on the world's state of affairs, but I don't think I would have time or enough material to dedicate to a stand alone blog.

So, I may start adding a few entries here to help break up the monotomy that is doubling.

Nothing else to add today except to go out and VOTE!

Balance - $70.08 + $.08 = $70.16

$11.76 from Completing Step 14!

Review of Rules!

There is a handful of people doing the doubling system right now. We basically have the same goal - Start with nothing and end up with $1,000,000 or whatever the goal is.

I visit the other doublers' blogs to keep up on their progress. After reviewing the blogs I found one thing inconsistent between all of us. We each interpret the rules differently. I use all of the rules as they were written by Mr. Goldsmith. Some doublers pick and choose from these rules and some have just made up their own.

This is no big deal to me, but it moved me to review the rules and make sure that I remembered them. Upon this review one of the rules stuck out as the most hardest to follow. That rule is #10!

Rule #10 states - You must use only the stake money, not 'stolen' or 'hidden' resources.

What was met by the creator of this rule was that a person could not use an office copier to make copies of prints that you were going to sell in the doubling effort. In the true doubling effort, you would create the art( or work) yourself, then pay the photocopying store the fee to copy them. Anything different from this would be deemed 'stealing' or 'cheating'.

Wow, that is pretty harsh isn't it? If you think about it, I don't think it is. I believe each rule is there to help develop a great business sense and planning ability. If you rely on 'stealing' or 'cheating' to keep your business going, you will probably end up like Enron or WorldCom!

So as I move on in this effort, I will be create something of value and will be wanting to exchange it for money, hopefully making a profit. As I do this Rule #10 will be my guiding light in creating a smart and just business.
