The Two Best Selling Products For The Next 6 Months?

The two best selling products for the next 6 months?

According to consumer buying trend experts, these two kinds of products will see their sales go up during the next six months, while the rest of the economy struggles. Shouldn't you be creating and selling these kinds of products?

In the Monday October 6, 2008 New York Times article, 'Shaken Consumer Aggravates crisis', it was reported that consumers are pulling back on their spending, all but insuring that the economic situation will get worse before it gets better.

The article goes on to suggest that consumers will be spending less, staying home more, and sellers of all kinds of products will see their sales fall.

But the article pointed out there is one bright spot in this bleak picture - consumers who stay home are likely to be spending more money on DVDs for entertainment and training.

Good News for the Independent Producer

First let me say here that almost all of what you read in the New York Times is simply the opinion of a reporter who may or may not have researched the subject and the article almost always reflects the biases of the reporter.

But sometimes even the New York Times gets part of a story right.

And in this case, if the scenario of consumers spending more time at home and less time out in the retail world is correct, it is quite likely stay-at-home consumers will spend more time either in front of their computers or in front of their TV sets.

And the prediction of consumers buying more DVDs for entertainment and training makes a lot of sense - if consumers are staying home watching TV or learning more about their computers.

Again, if these predictions are on the mark, the next several months will be a great time for the independent video producer who is selling training or how-to DVDs on the internet.

It means more consumers will be looking for more DVDs to purchase, and they'll be looking on the internet to find them.

As a fitness professional (bodybuilder, figure or fitness competitor), this is a great time to discover how to create your own exercise videos!

People may be spending more time at home and they may need ways to stay in shape!

Mike Pulcinella and I have put up a free message board at www.FitnessVideoU.com.

This board will help you on the road to creating and marketing your own fitness videos!

The Power Of Networking To Accomplish BIG Things!

I've teamed up with my business partner, Documentary extrordinaire, Mike Pulcinella and the members of Austin's Mayors Fitness Council to create a video highlighting Austin's goal of becoming the fittest city by 2010.

This is big.

Real big.

None of us would be able to handle this project alone.

But together, we expect big, exciting things to happen.

How about you?

Who can you team up with to accomplish more in your business or in your life?

I guarantee there is something big out there for you to be apart of.

Perhaps you already are working on something big, something meaningful.

If not, START something.

Start a movement.

Accomplish big, meaningful things.

Get outside of your comfort zone.

Outside of your circle of regular contacts.

Who knows what might happen?

Have a great day!

A Creative View

Below is a pic of the view that I look at every day in my back yard.

That's Lake Travis (the North Shore) in Austin, Texas.

I sit, get quiet and let my mind go...

My creative juices begin to bubble up and the ideas and answers come non stop.


I told my wife when we moved here a couple of years ago, that we would have the most creative period in our lives at this house.

So far, so good.

What are YOU looking at to get quiet and creative?

I make myself slow down, take stock and be grateful for what I have.

The more I do this, the more at peace I feel.

How do YOU slow down?

Soul crushing work.

Now, I work 3 days a week as my own boss.

Here's what I do:

Finally, I do business consulting with other fitness, figure and bodybuilders to show them how easy it is to create multiple streams of income.

As I mentioned, I work 3 days a week.

The other 4 days, I enjoy life with my family (wife and soon to be 3 boys).

Upcoming trips:

Steve Reeves Fitness and Film Festival August 23rd

Cancun, Mexico September 27th

The month of December 08, I am planning to take the entire month
off to slow time down and enjoy the Holidays, watch Holiday movies, eat, sleep in (probably not)and workout.

Life is truly a gift and one that should be cherished.

Create your own life, don't let your work dictate your life!

Survivor

That's Scott, Monica and Phillip Brant in the picture.

I shot this yesterday, July 5th at beautiful Lake Austin
near Monica and Scott's home.

Phillip is Monica Brant's older brother.

Phillip recently lost 40+ pounds since March 08.

Down from 232lbs to a current weight of 188lbs.

He ran 4-6 miles, did dumbbell workouts and cleaned up his diet!

Now he's trying out for the TV show - "Survivor"!

He's going for his dreams!

How about you?

Are you stuck in rut?

In a dead end job?

Don't know how to take it to the next level?

Tip - Forget all of the over thinking and over analyzing.

When you are going down the right path in life (following your passion),
the doors will swing wide open!

Go for your dreams!
