Big News!!!! Market America to acquire Bill Gates backed Shop.com, create social shopping destination.

Hey Team,

Bigger, Better, Faster, Easier...Move over Amazon!!! This is exciting news to launch us in to the next year!  2011 is going to be the best yet!

2010 has been a banner year for Internet retailer, MarketAmerica.com. Earlier this year, we launched the ma Cashaback program, where we pay customers up to 50% cashback when they purchase products through Market America and 1/2% to customers for referring others to our site.

Today, we are excited to announce that Market America has acquired Shop.com, an online comparison shopping engine provider (and Bill Gates backed company).

Both Market America and Shop.com will continue to operate as separate websites, with both benefiting from the unique benefits that each company offers. Shop.com's strength in technology and merchandising combined with Market America's high-touch, unlimited cash back program and personal shopping experience will help expand the current people-powered, relationship-based shopping portal from Market America into a content rich destination that informs, entertains and guides customers in their shopping experience.
President and CEO of Market America, JR Ridinger had this to say on the acquisition.

To date, no one has truly harnessed the power of technology to provide a high touch, personal shopping experience combined with the depth of selection available through instant search of the more than 43 million products in our database. Our business model rewards customers at every stage - by making their shopping easier and more efficient, and rewarding them with cash back for shopping with us. This unique strategy positions us for explosive growth and to compete head-to-head with the biggest, most dominant shopping sites on the Internet.

~JR Ridinger

Together, Market America and SHOP.COM are creating a new 'social shopping' movement!

Both companies will continue to operate in their respective headquarters; MarketAmerica.com in Greensboro, NC and Shop.com in Monterey and Pasadena, CA as well as in London, UK.  Expect the deal to close by year-end 2010.

This is the time to kick your business in high gear. 

As brokers, we partner with two types of company’s…manufacturers and retailers.  I specialize in selling the Isotonix Vitamins and expanding distribution by mentoring other people to sell products in whatever area of the brokerage that they want to specialize ie Motives Cosmetics, Website design, Nutrametrix for Health Professionals etc.  With our business model we get paid in all of the industries that that we broker.  For example:  I have people selling make-up and websites and I get paid on their sales without ever doing someone’s make-up or selling a website.  In turn, they can get paid on the sales of my Isotonix Vitamins to my customers.  It truly is a cohesive team of professionals building their internet franchise and everyone works together synergistically.

It may seem counterintuitive, but starting a business during a recession can reap some big rewards. In fact, studies indicate that more people are taking the entrepreneurial plunge despite the economic slowdown. Less competition for customers and lower marketing costs can make a sluggish economy one of the best times to start your business. Here are a few businesses that even thrive in tough times.

2. Healthcare Products 

3. Job Search Agency 

4. Mediator 

5. Security Firm

Tax Breaks and Incentives for Small Business Set to Expire

C. YODER - DEC 2010

Small businesses will benefit from the Small Business Jobs Act of 2010, which was signed into law on September 27, 2010 after months of wrangling among lawmakers. The law includes tax cuts, financing incentives, retirement options and loan programs.

“This bill is the just the first step in putting small businesses at the forefront of our economic recovery,” said U.S. Senator Mary L. Landrieu, D-La., who heads the committee on small business and entrepreneurship, which assembled the package of assistance.

However, some of the tax cuts and incentives are set to expire by year’s end, so be sure to take advantage of them while you still can.

Why Small Business?

Policymakers, economists and politicians agree that small business is the engine of the American economy, and its health is essential to a robust recovery.

According to government studies, small business is at the heart of the nation’s employment; 27 million small businesses pay 44% of the total American payroll and generated 65% of the new jobs created over the last 17 months. The package addresses several issues as outlined below:

1. Tax breaks for small businesses – deductibles, expenses and depreciation

2. Incentives for small business – employee health care benefits and retirement savings

3. Access to financing

·          

4. Incentives to invest in small business

A Global Perspective

Assistance from the Small Business Jobs Act can’t come soon enough. Recent studies have pointed to an erosion of the United States’ status as the global leader in entrepreneurship. A recent SBA study noted a slowdown in entrepreneurial activities in the U.S., but indicated that it may be due to progress from the rest of the world, who has looked to the U.S. model as an example and begun to catch up.

“The United States has long been an example for the rest of the world in terms of its capacity for innovation, creation of knowledge, and growth,” and those traits keep American at the very top of global entrepreneurship. The Small Business Jobs Act of 2010 aims to secure the United States' position as a global leader.

Success Story featured on ma Blog

Where we started and where we are today are as different as night and day. It is not by chance. It is not by luck. We had specific goals of the life we wanted for our family, and we created it.

After evaluating the Market America business model, we knew this was the perfect blueprint to accomplish our goals. We could make raising our family a priority, and be present in every moment of our children’s lives by working smarter not harder. This business allows you to leverage time and money. It is not the amount of time you put into building your business, it is the quality time you spend implementing the result-producing activities: selling products, expanding distribution by coaching others, and attending trainings with your team to master the fundamentals. Over the past 14 years, we have consistently implemented the proven success principles to build our internet franchise with Market America.

The key to our success is we are still doing today what helped us achieve our early success, but now we are leveraging technology. Our Isotonix Vitamins are second to none! Opc-3 is our favorite product. We have developed a large customer base by leveraging the internet via our website www.isotonicvitamins.com and providing top-notch customer service. We treat our business like a business, every customer is important to us, and we strive to help them reach their health goals through offering Isotonix OPC-3, as well as the full line of Isotonix Vitamins.

We develop a relationship with our customers, which leads us to many referrals for new customers and new business partners. Our customers love the products and have phenomenal results. We know this because we build rapport and ask them questions such as, “Are you taking vitamins for preventative health or to help a specific health challenge?” We love what we do, because we are helping so many people change their lives. This precision focus on customer service has launched us to one of the top two internet shopping business retailers with Market America!

Take the Leap of Faith...it's worth it! www.paulcarlotta.com

Several years ago JR shared a thought provoking story that I believe today has even more relevance...

The river in the village a priest lived in was about to burst its banks and drown everything. A car pulled up to the church and shouted to the priest, "Father, we can squeeze you in. Hop in!" The priest replied, "No, you go my children. Save someone else. God will save me!"
The water level kept rising and some people in an inflatable boat rowed to the church and shouted to the priest, "Father! Hop in! You're going to drown!" The priest replied, "No, go save someone else. God will save me!"

Now the whole town was under water. The priest made it to the roof of the church where a helicopter hovered nearby and shouted to him, "Father, grab the rope!" to which the priest replied, "No, don't worry about me. God will save me!"

Our poor friend the priest drowns and he goes to heaven. When he met God, he asked him, "I've been your humble servant all my life. I helped the poor and did good deeds. Why didn't you save me?" And God replied, "Whatever do you mean? I sent you a car, and you said no; I sent you a boat, and you refused; and when I sent you a helicopter, you still said no."

The economic tide has created such incredible waves that we now find ourselves in "A Perfect Storm!" Market America continues to send us "vehicles" to save us and others from drowning in debt or financial insecurity.

Simpleology - Simple Science of Invincibility

Simpleology - Simple Science of Invincibility


Great talent = Possible Success
Great talent + Education = Possible Success
Great talent + Education + An Invincible Mindset = High Probability of Success

But, here is what is interesting...

Education + An Invincible Mindset = High Probability of Success
An Invincible Mindset = High Probability of Success

Talent is something you were born with, but as you can see, it is rarely the differentiator between success and failure. Yes, all things being equal some talent will give you an edge. But, put that talent up against a "less talented" person who has learned the skills of Invincibility. The one with invincible mindset will almost always win. Education is something you can acquire, and should endeavor to acquire throughout your life, but does it really matter?

Bill Gates, Richard Branson, Steve Jobs...these are men who all became billionaires without a college education.

What did they have that their better educated and more "talented" peers didn't? An Invincible Mindset!

When things go wrong - they get back up fighting. Tirelessly! Goodness help the person who goes up against the Invincible man or woman.

Now imagine that's you...You get knocked down, you get back up again...each time with more fire, fight and focus!

Have an Invincible Mindset and Live your success!

Keep Winning Through Action!
